Plan to do part or all of the Golden Circle

Skagway, Haines, Whitehorse, Haines Junction, and Juneau make up the Golden Circle. Skagway is an excellent place from which to base your travels while in the upper Lynn Canal. From here you can travel daily to Haines or Juneau by water or air. You can leave your vehicle behind or take it with you and see another part of Southeast Alaska!

Bring your vehicle to Skagway

The Klondike Highway from Whitehorse to Skagway is an excellent year-round road designed to handle all types of recreational vehicles.

Don’t forget fuel is generally less expensive in the United States.

May & September are exceptional months
